Book Review
⚠️Trigger warnings ahead – s.i.cide, self harm⚠️
A story of a young woman’s descent into madness and redemption..
The story is set up in the 1960s and is still relatable to this day.
To know that this book is semi-autobiographical and within a month of its release Sylvia kil.ed herself makes my heart ache for her and I wish she got the proper help she deserved.
Few ideologies here and there and A woman’s life tied up to marriage and to raise a family to be a “complete” woman sickens me.
The loss of a friend in this book made me feel like I lost the only person I knew.💔
Although the book has many crappy characters there are an equal number of kind hearted people too. And the world needs more kind people. Be kind, Always!
This story made my old scars hurt. I kindly advice you to read this one in the right mindset. 🫂
From The Bell Jar,
“To the person in the bell jar, blank and stopped as a dead baby, the world itself is a bad dream.
……
Maybe forgetfulness, like a kind snow, should numb and cover them.
But they were part of me. They were my landscape.”
